Decide where you want to go, follow a rolling barrage along that route, area firing as you go. All that hot metal flying around will cause suppression on the sniper, which will allow you to spot it. Then you kill him and move on to the next target.
Size zero targets are all psych-ops weapons. They are supposed ti work on your mind first and foremost. The best defense is to not let them, or in my case, not have a mind.

Of course, I would be as annoyed as the next guy if I end up playing someone who decides to bring 50 snipers to battle and I prefer people who buy unit formations... On the other hand I can understand the desire to max out AT weapons, especially if playing an enemy with stronger tanks.

However, I believe the issue is not with the flexibility of the game or individual preferences for units. I think the unit prices are unrealistic.
For example, airplanes in WW2 and (at least) early MBT are quite unexpensive.
Ammo supply units should cost a lot more than they do.
One of the few exceptions is good quality snipers who are actually fairly priced versus infantry.

Higher prices for the more desirable "toys" should result in people who buy unrealistic ammounts of ATGMs, for example, having to sacrifice so much on other unit types that the resulting army would have easily exploitable weaknesses.
